Fabulous Friday Night!

Can you believe it? Mom and I were out in the neighborhood almost 2 hours tonite! And do you know why? PEOPLE who are now FRIENDS and FOOD.

We went away from the park first, and were lucky to find two of my little girl friends out in the yard. I haven't seen them for a while, but they remembered me! And what's best, is that they like to HUG me! Oh, can't you feel the love? First one, then the other, and then, oh my, both at once! Oh they made me sooooo happy! While all this was going on I think I heard mom talking about the book and my blog, and that the girls' mom was excited about it. I hope so - I'd love some new cyber-friends!

They finally had to go to dinner (and their dad invited us to stay - how's that for a gentleman?) but mom said maybe next time, and off we went. From there, the nieghborhood was really quiet for blocks and blocks, except for a couple of dogs in houses that had to warn us to stay away, or wanted us to come and play.

Then we rounded a corner and there was the Purple Princess! She wasn't in purple today, but I remembered her because she has a beautiful smile, and loves to run and play. Since I'd had plenty of attention from my two huggy girlfriends, I didn't mind. She has a little brother who got some help from dad in learning to pet me. That was very nice. I like helping people learn how to be around dogs. OH - the Purple Princess is going to ride her bike in the Enderis Park parade tomorrow morning! Her mom (would she be the Purple Queen?) was decorating it as we visited, and it looked really jazzy! I can't wait to see her tomorrow and bark as she rides by!

Even though we'd been out for a long time, mom thought we should go to the park. I agreed, and thank goodness I did! That's where we met the Huffmans! Oh my, they were so COOL! They thought I was so pretty and smart and nice and did they ever let me know it! They asked ALL sorts of questions about me and how mom and I met, and what we did together, and they said they could tell that mom has as much fun with me as I do with her. And then their kids and grandkids came over! You never saw such handsome boys and beautiful girls as this family! And I'm NOT just saying that cuz they shared their barbecue with mom and me (total YUM). They loved the fact that I'm in a book - even if it is about poop, and they're very excited for mom. What a night! And it wasn't over yet!

Just half a block from home these three gorgeous young women on hot bicycles came up to say hi and ask if we remembered them. Well, they'd grown up a lot, but we sure did! So we talked and mom told them to visit me online , and then one of our other neighbors came up on her spiffy scooter with a friend on HER scooter, and didn't they just look gorgeous too! I looked at mom and wondered why she doesn't dress up when we go for walks. I love her, but these 5 girls sure put her in the shade! And when we were talking our neighbor friend actually said that the book was good! I remember her saying she liked it, but to hear her tell other people that made mom and I just glow!

Whew. I was limping a little by then - my left front leg hurt a bit for some reason. Mom was worried, but I just walked on home. Then we sat in the yard until it got dark, talking about our Fabulous Friday Night. Thank you friends!
